Seeking to Join Forces!
"Fellow Daoist, what's going on?"
Upon seeing Lin Yunji, Shi Mang's expression showed considerable surprise.
"What's wrong? Do I look different than before?"
Lin Yunji spoke with a smile.
However, his voice was hoarse, like that of a withered old tree.
"Fellow Daoist, have you perhaps Qi Deviation?" Shi Mang couldn't help but ask.
"No, no." Lin Yunji quickly waved his hand.
Then Lin Yunji took a deep breath, and with that movement,
An astonishing amount of Chaos Essence Qi was drawn from the void and Chaos, and then divine light emanated from his body.
Boundless light shone everywhere, illuminating billions of miles. At the same time, boundless power raged, and at the center of the light Lin Yunji's true form was restored to its original state!
"Fellow Daoist, everything is fine now," Lin Yunji said to Shi Mang.
He had been refining himself for a long time, and the Chaos Essence Qi accumulated in the Primordial Expanse Glazed Pagoda was exhausted. Lin Yunji could not replenish it, so his true body looked somewhat withered.
He is now like a pond that has expanded into a lake!
However, the amount of water in the lake is still the same as that in the pond.
Therefore, the entire lake appears somewhat dry.
But in fact, Lin Yunji's potential has already increased significantly.
It only takes refining enough Chaos Essence Qi to fill the lake.
This is completely different from before.
Previously, his pond was already full of water and could not hold any more. If Lin Yunji absorbed more water, it would overflow.
Now that the pond has become a lake, Lin Yunji can naturally continue to absorb even more water!
Moreover, Lin Yunji has only just returned to his original form, merely restoring his appearance. His true body remains dried up.
Lin Yunji estimated that if he wanted to replenish the Chaos Essence Qi he needed, he would probably need to enter the void of Chaos and absorb it for at least a thousand years!
"Fellow Daoist, your current cultivation level...!"
Shi Mang stared at Lin Yunji, secretly alarmed.
It's only been a million years, but Shi Mang can tell that Lin Yunji now is completely different from the Lin Yunji of the past.
In the past, Lin Yunji gave him a sense of considerable threat, but not to the point that he felt unfathomable and awe-inspiring.
Now, Shi Mang sensed a faint, soul-deep fear emanating from Lin Yunji!
Having this feeling means that Lin Yunji is now powerful enough to threaten his life!
"Fellow Daoist, this is truly incredible!" Shi Mang couldn't help but exclaim.
"Haha, Fellow Shi Mang, you flatter me. I see you've also reaped considerable rewards in those million years," Lin Yunji said with a smile.
"Hmm." Shi Mang didn't deny it, he just nodded.
"Thanks to the Heavenly Venerable Fanti for answering my questions back then, which gave me great inspiration."
Shi Mang's voice was filled with gratitude.
"By the way, fellow Daoist, what brings you here today?"
Lin Yunji said to Shi Mang.
"There are indeed some things," Shi Mang said.
"In that case, let's sit down and talk it over."
Lin Yunji extended an invitation to Shi Mang.
"That's excellent," Shi Mang said.
At Lin Yunji's invitation, Shi Mang entered Lin Yunji's training ground.
Over a million years, Lin Yunji secluded himself in the Primordial Expanse Glazed Pagoda, while Nüwo began to rebuild the Daoist temple where Lin Yunji had left behind, constructing numerous palaces and setting up a large number of barriers and formations.
Meanwhile, Lin Yunji temple was located here, and in this vast area, many creatures and cultivators who originally lived in this Ancestral Land...
And some cultivators from even further away gathered here, forming worlds and kingdoms of varying sizes.
The number of these living beings and cultivators is many times greater than the population of the Primordial World.
Over millions of years, Lin Yunji's place of practice has become extremely prosperous.
Besides the saints of the Primordial World, many other Sage and Great Dao Sage came to attach themselves to Lin Yunji's Daoist temple.
Upon entering the palace, Lin Yunji and Shi Mang took their seats, and Nüwo, who had been in seclusion, also emerged from her retreat.
"Supreme Shi Mang has arrived?" Nüwo said politely.
Shi Mang nodded and bowed in return.
"I have indeed come here on a very important matter," Shi Mang said to Lin Yunji.
"Is it about the Supreme Taixuan?" Nüwo asked.
"It seems that the Supreme Nüwo Nuwa already knows," Shi Mang said.
"Supreme Taixuan?" Lin Yunji raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong?"
"You've been in seclusion, so you wouldn't know."
Nüwo spoke, "In recent years, a Supreme Taixuan of the Source Realm has suddenly appeared!"
"This person's origin is unknown, but he suddenly appeared in the Source Realm and began searching for experts among the Source Realm's Supreme Primordial Unity to challenge!"
They defeated all the Venerables of the Source Realm! This caused an uproar throughout the entire Source Realm! I first heard about this from Jiu Lu."
"Yes! Supreme Taixuan, this person is indeed extraordinary."
Shi Mang said, "You had an old friend, and you lost to him too."
"Who?" Lin Yunji was taken aback.
"Kunsheng," Shi Mang said.
"Kunsheng has been defeated?!" Lin Yunji somewhat surprised.
At this moment, he became completely serious.
Kunsheng is a formidable and ruthless individual!
Even he lost, so you can imagine how powerful this Supreme Taixuan is.
"Why is this person challenging everyone? Is it to kill and steal treasure? Or..." Lin Yunji asked with a hint of doubt.
"I don't know." Shi Mang shook his head.
"However, he'll be arriving in our Great Sage Realm soon!"
"This person descended from the Source Realm and ascended all the way up, fighting his way through all the major realms of the Source Realm, specifically challenging the famous experts in each of the major realms of the Source Realm."
Over the years, he has basically swept through all the realms of the Source Realm!
"Could it be that none of the Venerable Ones of the Source Realm joined forces to deal with him?" Lin Yunji with some doubt.
"Yes." Shi Mang nodded.
"Many Supreme beings joined forces to prepare a grand formation to ambush him, but he broke through the formation and left, even humiliating all the supreme beings who participated in the ambush," Shi Mang said helplessly.
"The Supreme who participated in the ambush weren't particularly powerful to begin with. Among the Supreme, those who could be considered experts were unwilling to use numbers to bully the few."
"I see." Lin Yunji nodded.
Indeed, which cultivator who reaches the Supreme doesn't have a bit of arrogance?
Especially those already renowned Supreme in the Origin Source Realm.
It's not hard to understand why they are unwilling to join forces against the enemy.
"However, the Great Venerable Tianhuang of the Great Sage Realm has contacted me, hoping to join forces with us to suppress Taixuan in the Great Sage Realm," Shi Mang said.
"The Great Venerable Tianhuang?" Lin Yunji's heart stirred slightly.
